Select for Durability and Aesthetics: The 641 offers panel finishes for the ultimate in
design flexibility. Even the frames may be color matched to coordinate with the faces.
The 641 is a popular choice for hotel meeting rooms, convention centers, commercial
facilities, or other high use facilities.
Standard Features: The panels are nominally 4” [102] thick, and have a 16 ga. steel
frame. The top and bottom horizontal sound seals are retractable and provide floor
clearance (to accommodate out-of-level floors). The faces may be covered from a wide
selection of vinyl colors and patterns.
Individual, Omni-Directional Panels: Individual, manually operated panels offer
optimum room flexibility. The track system enables panels to negotiate turns and be
used in alternate locations.
How to Obtain: Hufcor partitions are sold, installed, and serviced by factory-trained
local authorized Distributors in the United States and by Licensees and Distributors
outside the U.S.A.
Delivery: Panels are custom built for your specific project. Lead times vary due to
seasonal fluctuations. Check with your Distributor for the current schedule.
Warranty: Track and panels are guaranteed for two years against defects in material
and workmanship.

*Taller heights are available. Contact

your Hufcor Distributor for assistance.

"Standard" Product Features and Benefits:

Look for these features when comparing similar products.
1. Feature: Protective vertical trim (Available option: no
protective vertical face trim.)
Benefit: Trim protects the panel edges and faces plus it
provides a handhold when moving panels.
2. Feature: Quick-Set™ Retractable Seals
. Benefit: The retractable seals are Quick-Set™ which
means they are easily extended or retracted with only
a 1/2 turn of the removable handle. No tedious
cranking needed to set the seals.
3. Feature: 2” [51] retractable bottom seals
Benefit: Retractable seals accommodate out-of-level
floor conditions. When retracted, nothing drags on
the floor when the panels are moved. Panels can be
“locked” in place.
4. Feature: Retractable seals exert upward and downward
seal force
Benefit: Provides constant force against the track and
floor for optimum acoustics even on carpet or other
porous floor materials. Maintains panel stability when
the seals are set.
5. Feature: Waist high seal activator for quick set retractable
seals.
Benefit: Fast, easy seal activation without bending or
stooping.
6. Feature: Removable operating handle.
Benefit: Prevents unauthorized operation.
7. Feature: Expanding Jamb Closure (Lever Closure) Panel
Benefit: Exerts 250 lbs [113.4 kg] of force against the
fixed wall. The compression creates tight panel joints
for optimum sound control.
8. Feature: Interlocking vertical seals
Benefit: Ensures panel-to-panel alignment and prevents
sound leaks between panels.

Optional track systems, seals, and accessories enable the standard product to be
modified for optimum versatility. See details provided or ask your Hufcor
representative for the features you want.

LAYOUT OPTIONS SERIES 641

Individual, Omni-Directional Operable Partitions

Stack Dimensions
The following stack depth and width dimensions are based on a flat stack and standard construction with
vinyl faces. Optional construction and/or face covering may increase stack depth dimensions. Angled stacks
require additional space. Contact your Hufcor Distributor for angled stack requirements.

Stack Depth: 4-1/4” [108] per panel plus 1" [25]

Optional panic hardware will add to the depth of the stack.
Please contact your Hufcor distributor for assistance.
Stack Width: Panel width + 12" [300] clearance.
For Pocket Storage: Due to the wide variety of stack
configurations possible, consult your Hufcor representative
for space requirements.
TYPE 1
Side Stack

The Type 1 stack shown above is the most often used for simple omni-directional layouts. Following are additional common
stack configurations. Stacks are not limited to these configurations and may be built to fit each job requirement. Consult your
Hufcor representative for design assistance.

TYPE 2
Parallel
* TYPE 3
Double Parallel
TYPE 4
Chamfered

Curve/Divert Systems

Curves, diverters, switches

for easy movement of very
tall/heavy panels. The
carriers may be
programmed for self-
directing and sorting.

*
*
* CAUTION
Body space is needed to access the panels and move them into position. Be
certain to consult your Hufcor representative before constructing walls in
pocket/stack areas. This is important for all configurations, but can be
especially important for those stacks marked with an asterisk.
